Ocean View Tulamben Dive & Resort

Close to the sea. Sunbed at the cottage.

Not clean in dining area. Only few things to eat on menu. Nearly no indonesian food. Pool was not clean. Staff wanted to relax most of the time, in stead of cleaning.

The location for scuba diving is just perfect. You literally enter the dive site from the resort's beach. On top of that, the bungalows are positioned directly toward the east. As a result, the Sun welcomes you every morning. Diving is not the cheapest, but at least in my case, I had a private dive guide, which was really convenient if not luxurious. Internet-wise I don't even remember if Wifi worked as I was surprised I had great mobile internet from Telkomsel, which surprised me because I thought only XL works well in Tulamben.

The quality of the room and the bathroom was way below my expectations. I got misled by the photos plus possibly they deteriorated a bit during the pandemic. There were heaps of space in the bungalow, which sounds great, but it actually felt very empty and wasteful. Especially the bathroom is awkwardly, disproportionally large. Lesson learned for me - chose a smaller room next time ;-) The restaurant has a very limited choice of meals, esp. for vegetarians. I found the quality of the food to be good, but I struggled to find a meal to celebrate a great day. I was surprised that there is no ATM in Tulamben anymore. The closest is in Kubu. Not a problem for the resort as they accept credit cards (with 3% surcharge).
